Snow and sun

Spring is here in ABQ, and I LOVE it! We can't get enough heat in the Lee household. But since we knew the weather is warming up big time, we decided to hit the snow in the mountains one last time.
I wasn't sure if there was any snow left, but we kept driving up til we found some.
The boys and girl have been dying to go sledding all winter so we went for it. There wasn't a lot of snow, but there was enough. And the sledding was steep!
The boys are fearless now. They went flying down on a couple of runs where I was really worried someone would get hurt. Thankfully no one did.
And we can't go sledding without some hot chocolate.
This was one of the oddest sledding experiences I have ever had. In the sun, there was not a hint of snow and it was almost 50 degrees at an elevation of about 7,000 feet. But in the shade, there was snow and it felt pretty cold. Matt didn't seem to notice the paradox.
The beautiful thing was after we had fun sledding, we drove home in about 45 minutes and whipped out the shorts and flip-flops. It was over 60 degrees and gorgeous outside! Gotta love ABQ.
